267711 - Firefox does not display non-auth pages in 2nd window when auth in progress in 1st window

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Alex Schuilenburg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913 Firefox/0.10.1

Firefox will display potions of the top title bar of the page, but nothing else.
 It hangs.  Stop load has no effect.  However, if you enter another URL while
Firefox is in this state, additional portions of the page will become visible
before the new page is displayed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://dev.eclipse.org/

Sorry, hit return too soon. There is an interaction between other pages which
causes this problem to occur.  To reproduce:

1. Open 2 firefox windows
2. In 1st window, access a page on a website that requires an auth.  e.g.
   http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-debug-dev/msg00716.html
3. When auth popup appears, switch to 2nd window and access a page on the same
site that does not require an auth.  e.g. http://dev.eclipse.org/

The result is that only small portions of the page in the 2nd window are
displayed.  If you cancel the auth in the 1st window, the problem disappears.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
